Wilson-himself an alcoholic-had found the existing support groups lacking and developed his renowned Twelve Steps as he tried to aid Smith in his recovery from alcoholism, culminating in the first publication of the fellowship’s methodology, practices, and principles in 1939.
Bob Smith founded what would become Alcoholics Anonymous in Akron, Ohio. Additionally, there’s growing evidence for the ability of twelve step programs to help individuals maintain sobriety long-term, which is why Guardian IOP incorporates the twelve-step method into our treatment curriculum. In addition to counseling and psychotherapy, group and family sessions, as well as a number of supplemental and alternative therapies, have proven to be instrumental in achieving lasting sobriety. However, there are many components to a lasting, long-term recovery, often beginning with an intensive treatment program such as that offered at Guardian Intensive Outpatient. As an individual in recovery accrues more and more sober time, sustaining sobriety becomes easier as the sober lifestyle becomes habitual and instinctive.
Rather, recovery is a continuous, lifelong endeavor to which one must dedicate continuous time, energy, and effort. Fortunately, there are many avenues toward recovery, but rehabilitation doesn’t mean that an individual has been cured. Not only is it chronic, but it’s also progressive, getting persistently worse with time. No matter the route to dependency, it always begins with individuals believing that they will be able to prevent themselves from becoming addicted or stop the substance abuse before addiction occurs however, soon enough they find that when they attempt to cease intake of the substance they begin to experience withdrawal symptoms, at which point the reality of the addiction begins to set in.Īddiction is an encompassing, all-consuming disease.
